Manuel Goyeneche Y Barreda

A Stan Klos Company

GOYENECHE Y BARREDA, Manuel (go-yay-nay'-chay), count of Guaqui, South American soldier, born in Arequipa, Perú, 13 June, 1775; died in Madrid, Spain, 15 October, 1846. He entered the military service as a cadet in the organized militia, and in 1793 was lieutenant of the cavalry of Camaná.

 

He went to Spain in 1795, and in 1801 was sent to the different countries of Europe, to study the progress of military tactics and their application for the defense of Spain. On his return he rose to the rank of brigadier, and after the entry of the French into Madrid was appointed by Soult to go to South America in the interest of the French domination, but on his way espoused the cause of Ferdinand VII.

 

In 1809 he was appointed captain-general and president of the audiencia of Perú, and in that year marched against the revolutionists and defeated them, 25 October, near La Paz. After the declaration of independence in Buenos Ayres, 25 May, 1810, Goyeneche marched against the republican forces of that province, re-conquering the whole upper part of it. He subsequently won other battles, but his lieutenant, Tristan, was defeated, and Goyeneche, disgusted with the prosecution of a war of which he could see no end, asked for his relief, and retired to Spain in 1813.

 

There he fought against the French under Soult, and was rewarded with the grand cross of Isabel la Católica, the title of count of Guaqui, and the rank of lieutenant-general. He continued to serve the king as councillor of state, senator, and commander-in-chief of several provinces, received many orders, and in 1846 was elevated to the rank of hereditary grandee of Spain. The historian Funes says of him : "Goyeneche was Bonapartist in Madrid, federalist in Seville, autocrat in Montevideo, royalist in Buenos Aires, and despot in Perú."

 

--His brother, Jose Sebastian Goyeneche y Barreda, Peruvian R. C. bishop, born in Arequipa, 19 January 1784; died in Lima, 19 February 1872, studied in the College of the Immaculate Conception of Arequipa, and in the University of Lima, where in 1806 he was appointed assistant professor of theology, and in the same year was graduated in law at the royal audiéncia.

 

He was appointed assessor of the commercial and mining tribunals, but in 1807 entered holy orders and became successively curate of Calca and of Santa Marta in Arequipa. He was also for some time ecclesiastical governor of that bishopric, and in 1811 prebendary of the cathedral. In 1816 he was appointed inquisitor, and in 1817 bishop of Arequipa, being consecrated in 1818.

 

When the independence of Peru was proclaimed, 23 July, 1821, he accepted the situation, although his brother, the count of Guaqui, belonged to the opposite party. In 1860 he was appointed archbishop of Lima, and during his incumbency organized the seminary of that City.
